Pretty straight forward here, what does a player ship need to have for it to be considered good by the players and GM? Now to be clear I am not asking which ship in the books makes the best player ship, although you can make that part of the discussion if you would like, but when you modify or crea...

Just seeing this. Pinnacle has a well earned solid rep and the Wave 1 books were awesome. Very exciting!

Any news or updates on this since the original announcement? I'm just seeing this and am very excited!

I don't know, Recon would be the cheapest to do. Since you don't need high levels of CGI. Nightbane - too much CGI Beyond the Supernatural - this one might be doable, limited CGI potential Both of these could be done in the vein of Supernatural, Lost Girl, or any of the CW DC shows. They can pull i...

I can confirm hard copies of Atlantis, CWC, JU, and Free Quebec have Shadow Updates. No idea if the PDFs follow suit. Its of note, Atlantis was the first and didnt quite have all the Shadow Update info in it the subsequent products. Foe example, every SU refers to RUE under secondary skills, except...

I know a number of the older sourcebooks have been getting stat tweaks following RIFTs Ultimate Edition to bring them more in line with the current sourcebooks. Can anyone confirm if the stealth updates are included in the new .pdfs of older books like Atlantis available at DriveThruRPG? There's no...

This is more a case of, I got about 1/3 of the way through, then got involved with other stuff. Rather than have the pirate stuff just vanish forever, here it is in Rifter format.

Ah, ok.

Thank you!

Might make an appearance in Pantheon of the Megaverse as well (Though I don't think the gods of Ma'at make an appearance there, but it's been a while). But set isn't very difficult to picture, nor is Rifts the only place a classical Egyptian god is going to bee depicted. I'm sure a high school myth...

I could have sworn at some point I found a picture of Set besides the ones in "Dragons & Gods" and "Rifts: Africa." Anyone know where or am I just dreaming?

Ability #3. Art of the Deal doesn't have any sort of mechanical benefit listed in the first printing. Does anyone know if this was fixed in a later printing or in an errata?

For years we used the system where characters with more attacks just get to use them all at the end of the round. A few years ago we started using a chart someone posted up here that broke the round into 15 seconds and your number of attacks determines which second you attack on (initiative determin...

My biggest disappointment with the revised WB was not updating the El Paso and Juarez timeline. 8 years in Rifts North America is a *long* time for nothing to have happened.

Wow. It may be egocentric, but today's murmur (viewtopic.php?f=49&t=137954) about the Vamp Sourcebook makes me feel like Kevin read my review and is trying to address "The Bad." Fingers crossed!

Or... Learning a new class wouldn't be necessarily "multi-classing", they'd just be expanding their knowledge. So a 10th level Walker would have all the Walker powers/abilities at 10th level, but he'd only have the Shifter powers/abilities at third level. He would still cast spells/invoca...

cchopps

I would say he casts it as the class that he gained the spell through. So, for NPCs with stat blocks you would just decide randomly which one you'd rather them have? Does that mean you could take the spell twice, in order to have both versions ? Though I guess we've never seen that. Both classes ca...

cchopps

Let's say you have a character like a Dragon, Highlord, Alchemist, or Lizardmage that is a 10th level Ley Line Walker and 3rd Level Shifter. This character wants to cast Rift Teleportation (RUE 222). Does he get to cast it for 100 PPE (Shifter bonus) at 10th level or does he have to choose to either...

Very nice. I love your thoroughness.

Yah, you can house rule it to fit, or you can ignore it to fit, but as written yes, it breaks the system.....but this shouldn't be a shock, there is TONS of stuff that 'doesnt make sense' in the game. That is a different discussion and not one that I want to have. When I post stuff like this to the...

cchopps

Then there is that the D-Portal Spell is fairly rare, and most mages do not share high level spells with just anybody. My opinion is that kevin and his crew do not need us to give any reasons for them to Nerf magic any more than they have already. And that any "restrictions" placed on the...

Dimensional travel isn't easy. You have to "Know the location" you are going to to make this kind of travel feasible. UWW use ships to travel to new planets or galaxies like any other power then build their gates to travel home and back quickly and easily. What this man said. That fixes i...

cchopps

The problem is using magic to it's fullest extent would sort of make the UWW the dominant superpower simply because of the number of out of context problems magic poses that technological factions are given no real answers for. In short, don't overthink it. if you do, the whole setting will unravel...

I posted about this in the Magic Forum, but it may be better here. I feel like there should be some sort of distance (light years?) limit on this spell.

Hmm, I just saw that the RUE ability seems to be based on the spell of the same name in Rifter #15. That write-up pretty much answers all my questions.

Apologies in advance if I've just missed the thread on this. Does the Communications Rift target a specific location or a specific person? I'd think for a non Supernatural Intelligence/Greater Power you'd target the location (like Dimensional Portal), but then it says "...a roll that is within ...

I'm surprised no one brought up the multiple references in the Atlantis book to 'Bio-Wizardry' possibly being science and not magic (p.106). At one point it is referred to as "bio-technology" and in a different paragraph talks genetic manipulation being a part of the process. If this is on...

Searching around the nets I found this program called AstroSynthesis.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like the advancing timeline and I like metaplot in some RPGs. It makes each new book like finally getting the next episode of your favorite show. And, you don't have to use it. It is really easy to figure out how to reset any book back to 101. You can pick and choose...

If someone has had a bio-wizardry modification, is it detectable?

I remember this thread popping up about a year ago and someone ran a whole lot of numbers about combat between entities of different scales.
